Charles Dickens Walking Tour for Kids - 23rd October 2019…read moreThe tour started at the heart of old Rochester, just outside the castle. Our guide, Shane, was immediately welcoming and engaging. His commentary was fluid, thoroughly interesting and genuinely funny. Whilst we didn't actually walk that far, we saw many interesting buildings and sights, often with direct links to Charles Dickens's novels, or his upbringing and life.
Rochester Tour Guides (www.tourguiderochesteruk.co) is a super organisation with a truly good heart. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone wanting to find out more about Dickens, and with the 150 year anniversary of Dickens death next year (another fact I learned on the tour), I expect interest in Rochester History Walking Tours in 2020 will, deservedly, be at an all time high.
